Out with the 318 in with?

Damn, I spent around $1300 at the machine shop...and that was just bore, hone, deck, and line honing....oh, and shaving a little off the piston tops. I think you should look around on here, Moparts, and anywhere else for an abandonded project motor that already has the machine work done. You could probably find a complete fresh short block for a little under $1000.
